Frank
Brosnan's powers manifested when he was a teenager in the 1970s. This made
him one of the earliest known Ubers in Queensland. While he never received
formal training with his powers, his relative invulnerability ensured that
his mistakes weren't fatal.

His
long, if rather sporadic career has seen him working as an uberpowered
security guard and "hero for hire" (his company went broke), a
humanitarian aid worker (as a human bulldozer and heavy transport
vehicle), a smuggler (for a good cause) and even, on occasion, a crime
fighter of sorts.

His
extensive travels revealed his gift for languages, which provided the
pretext for his hiring by the Angelus Academy. In reality, however, his
experience as an Uberhuman operating in Australia, and his having worked
with a number of Ubers from different countries, was a more important
factor.

He
is currently dating Andrea Corrigan, a local journalist.

Personality

Assault
grew up as an irresistible force in a distinctly movable world. While he
has learnt a certain degree of subtlety, he still tends to approach the
world like a bull at a gate.

Some
of this is play-acting. He actually enjoys playing the fool, and likes to
encourage his opponents to underestimate him.

And
some of it is real.

He
smokes Cuban cigars, and is rarely without a hip flask containing either
rum, vodka or Irish whiskey. None of these things have the slightest
effect on him.

Quote

"Look, mate. Why
don't we just go to the pub, have a beer, and talk about this like
sensible people?"

Powers

Assault possesses
uberhuman strength and durability. His constitution is remarkable,
making him one of the most resistant ubers in the world. He is also a
skilled linguist.

Appearance

In
his superheroic identity, Assault wears a red body suit with yellow
gauntlets, a yellow mask, black boots and a black utility belt. He wears a
stylised golden "A" on his left chest. The utility belt rarely
contains much more useful than a hip flask and a selection of cigars.

In
his civilian identity, he tends to dress as informally as is appropriate
for a particular situation.

He
keeps his hair very short, and is generally clean shaven, although he
occasionally can be seen sporting a distinct five o'clock shadow.
